This course provides a comprehensive understanding of air pollution, its sources, effects, and control measures. Students will explore the physical and chemical characteristics of air pollutants, the processes that lead to their formation and dispersion, and their impacts on human health, ecosystems, and the climate. The course also examines international and national air quality standards, monitoring techniques, and policy frameworks aimed at pollution control and prevention.
Through lectures, practical exercises, case studies, and fieldwork, students will develop the ability to analyze air quality data, evaluate pollution sources, and recommend sustainable solutions to improve air quality.
Learning Objectives:
